Comments Thread For: Dmitry Bivol gains revenge to tee up trilogy with Artur Beterbiev

I'm not 100% surprised, and as I am a fan of Beterbiev I probably saw it through this lens of a fan that I think he.won. By no means a robbery. Bivol hit well.

I'm still hoping Artur retires

Accuracy hitting forearms and gloves??? Go back to sleep!

The right man won this time. 116-112 Bivol. He won 1, 2 and 7-12. If you want to be generous and give Artur the 12th, Bivol still wins 115-113. Let's do it a third time. Bivol should honestly be up 2-0./

I'm a Beterbiev fan, but he lost a close one tonite. Bivol has a better engine at this point. I'd watch a third one, but my guess is that Bivol will win.

We really don’t need a trilogy. These guys could fight 100 times and it’d be the same thing. Close competitive 24 rounds, just leave it there.

Absolute ****ing robbery! I had it 118-112 Beterbiev. Not even a close fight. Saudi ****s obviously fixed it in the hope of a trilogy. Disgusting result. One of the worst decisions I have seen in a long long time. What did Bivol actually do to warrant that robbery? Relentless pressure and accuracy from Beterbiev. It would put you off Boxing altogether. Total joke.

Arturs own corner didn't think he was winning.

One for the ages, I had Bivol winning by 2 rounds and I had the first fight much much closer, probably a draw. They old saying in boxing is true, there is always somebody who will match you or beat you if you stick around long enough. I think beterbiev might have stuck around two fights to long. At 40 years old it only goes one way, I hope he retires and forgets a third fight because he will lose again. I've watched a lot of him the last 5 years and I noticed tonight from round 7 onwards he didn't have that old dogged spark in him.

Bivol won clearly. he will win the third fight also.

Tight fight....a draw in my book, but a trilogy always seemed to be on the cards. Beterbiev isn't even trying to hit hard anymore...he should probably hang em up and enjoy the success he had-nothing else to really prove.
